WP Engine is a sponsor of a global event called 1k1day, the idea is to get 1000 and more Women businesses up and running on WordPress on Sunday September 9th 2012. You can learn more about the actual event here http://startuptrainingschool.com/events/1k-1d/
*If you know any women interested in starting a business online then this event is for them!* We've even offered to host one of their events at our facilities at the Capital Factory located at 701 Brazos Street, Suite 1602. The rundown of the event is there will be a podcast that we will play for the women that will act as their guide, but we will also staff the event with our awesome support team to answer questions, help them set up certain features, etc. *In a nutshell, the tasks we’ll cover include:* - Purchasing web hosting from our recommend provider WP Engine. - Installing WordPress on your domain (only required if you host using a cPanel hosting service). - Configuring the settings on your WordPress website so that it works the way you want it to. - Adding a couple of nifty things (called plugins) which enhance the way that WordPress works. - Setting up the pages you want on your new website. - Adding the content to your pages (if you’ve already completed this in the preparation stage). - Showing you how and where you can start to customise the look & feel of your website should you want to. I've written a blog post about it here: http://wpengine.com/2012/07/wp-engine-to-sponsor-1k-in-1-day/ And created a Facebook event page here: http://www.facebook.com/events/408076049228587/ The women will have to sign up through the startup training schools website, but then could choose to participate on their own, or at our physical event. Direct any questions or inquiries to me!
